There is an article in the New York Times with the headline that I have put above. This article discusses designs for fall fashion. It appears that the recession has inspired designers in a positive way. It says that the designs are more "sober" and more wearable. The designs of of people in New York are matching up to those in Paris and Milan for once.
Because of the recession, designers created less styles than normal. Because they didn't make as many styles, the designs that were seen on the runway had to be perfect. The designs were made to be sharper and more precise.
As a designer, this makes me feel like I might come out of this slump I've been in. I haven't been designing like I should, but maybe I should be letting my troubles be my inspiration. I guess it would be a way for me to turn lemons into lemonade. I have to play the hand that I was dealt, so why not make the best of what I have?
